When the system maintenance switch position 6 is set to the On position, the system is prepared
to erase all system configuration settings from both CMOS and NVRAM.
NMI Jumper
The NMI jumper allows administrators to perform a memory dump before performing a hard reset.
Crash dump analysis is an essential part of eliminating reliability problems, such as hangs or
crashes in OSs, device drivers, and applications. Many crashes can freeze a system, requiring a
hard reset. Resetting the system erases any information that would support root cause analysis.
Systems running Microsoft Windows experience a blue-screen trap when the OS crashes. When
this happens, Microsoft recommends that system administrators perform an NMI event by
temporarily shorting the NMI header with a jumper. The NMI event enables a hung system to
become responsive again.
Systems Insight Display LEDs and Internal Health LED
Combinations
When the internal health LED on the front panel illuminates either amber or red, the server is
experiencing a health event. Combinations of illuminated system LEDs and the internal health
LED indicate system status.
